[Solved] Desktop Icons in Ver 4.3.99.1

I have XFCE4 version 4.3.99.1 installed in three distros. On two of the distros I can add program icons to the desktop by starting Appfinder, the dragging the program/icon I want to the desktop. On the other distro, dragging the program/icon does nothing. I wonder if I am missing a package or do I have something configured wrong?

Thanks for any help, jimbo

It turns out that the xfce package from the problem distro had an error that prevented desktop icons from working. A later update solved the problem.

Hi Guys,Newbie here. This is my first post. I have old computers at home and gnome and kde makes them move like grannies. I am using Suse 10.1 and decided to stick with xfce for that reason. I downloaded and compiled the xfce rc2 and tried it but the feature of having a launcher icon on my desktop is gone. The only feature it has is the minimize icon on my desktop. I hope my explanation is enough to understand for I am not really good in speaking and writing in english.Any help will be appreciated, my kids wants to have those icons back.
